wolf blitzer is off. i'm candy crowley and you're in "the situation room". >>> we begin with the state of unemployment in america, just three months before election day. both democrats and republicans have something to seize on in the newest jobs report. employers say they added 163,000 jobs to the u.s. economy in july. that's better than economists expected, and something for the obama camp to hang its hat on. but the romney camp is pointing to this figure, the overall unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to 8.3%, because american households report losing 195,000 jobs. we want to bring in our white house correspondent, dan lothian. so sounds like kind of a wash, politically, dan. >> it does. and what the president is trying to do is highlight the positive, as you pointed out. yes, the unemployment rate did tick up to 8.3%, but what they're focused on is the fact that jobs were created, more jobs than expected. the experts out there, economists had expected that some 95,000 jobs would have been created las

let's bring wolf blitzer right now in that town we're talking about. wolf, give us some analysis on -- from the obama camp's perspective. how will the obama camp attack this? >> i think they'll immediately start talking about what paul ryan's budget as the chairman of the house budget committee would have called for if it was obviously approved by the house of representatives whether republicans have a decisive majority. it didn't get approved by the u.s. senate. the democrats don't have a majority. but what i'll say is that paul ryan wants to end medicare as we know it. they'll say he wants to really effectively end social security too. very popular entitlement programs for seniors in the united states. medicare the health plan for seniors in the united states. social security the real relief if you will for so many millions, tens of millions of elderly americans that are retired and elsewhere. they're going to go after paul ryan and mitt romney on this issue, and they're going to try to score some points. i've just been going through some of the reac

so, wolf blitzer, what is going on here? should team romney be running around with their hair on fire? >> well, not necessarily their hair on fire, but they should be concerned. what happened is it shows that conventions do matter. that it's not just fun and games going on. they do have an impact. before the democratic convention, these two campaigns were neck in neck. they were both at 48%. and now you see a six-point lead for president obama coming out of the convention. people like what they saw at the democratic convention despite the disappointing jobs number. it's a good sign for the president. remember, there's almost two months to go before the election, including three presidential debates, one vice presidential debate. so if i were the democrats, if i were the obama campaign, i would by no means be corking champagne bottles or anything like that. this is going to be a tough race. and as important, as you know, the national numbers are, likely voters or registered voters. what is so much more important is the number
